Wiki :
The Stig's fastest official lap time around the Top Gear test track was 1 minute 10.7 seconds in a Ferrari FXX , although this was later removed as it was revealed that the lap was done on slick tyres, which contravenes the rules. Faster times had previously been posted in a Renault F1 car (0.59.0),[23] an Aston Martin DBR9 (1.08.6)[24] and a Caparo T1 (1:10.6),[25] but the times of these cars were not included on the Lap Board either because they were deemed not to be street-practical because of their being unable to run over a "sleeping policeman" safely, or because they could not be purchased by the public. The fastest lap prior to the FXX and reinstated after the discovery of slick tyres was in a Gumpert Apollo (1.17.1).[26]

It would be a different story if (when) they let Ultima cars on the show. A British built car which holds the 0-100-0 record amongs others. They have privately tested at the same track and run close to 1.10.xx. I was looking at getting on a couple of years ago and they are amazing cars!
